Afghanistan: At least 60 killed in Baghlan flash flooding

At least 60 people have died and more than 100 have been injured after flash flooding in northern Afghanistan, according to Taliban officials.

Dozens of people remain missing after heavy rainfall hit five districts in Baghlan province, with warnings the death toll could rise ahead of a further two storms forecast to spread across the region on Friday night.

Pictures on social media showed torrents of water sweeping through houses in several villages, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The country has been hit by unusually heavy rainfall over the last few weeks, with floods killing more than 100 people since mid-April.
